This Halloween you should be afraid - be very afraid!
Forget vampires, ghouls and monsters under the bed. What’s really scary is the pace of technology hurtling towards us at 1,000mph.This Halloween, we have enough scary things to occupy us, without adding to the terror with fake blood and glow-in-the-dark vampire teeth. For a start we are on the way to cars that drive themselves as if handled by an invisible man. Not to mention, flyingmonkeysrobots and windows that suck solar energy with the ...
Hyperactivity accelerates hyperloop potential
Gridlock on roads, congestion and delays at airports have all conspired to make travel a chore. Imagine if you could be whisked to your destination in minutes rather than hours. This is the hyperloop vision, writes Caroline Hayes.
